At Night in Canterlot high among changes made the school was open at night for the bat ponies, Does who couldn't make it to school in the day time, or choice it. as such as night it functioned as all grades.

In it Sunset and her friends where A bit confused Jack was out side working as a guard. they had been here long enough that native magic worked through bets, So the game of duel monsters was equal to battle of wizards, and was natives first instinct. But she didn't get why they need a guard. I bet your wondering why the Rainbooms were here, Well thanks to a prank gone wrong by Some overly attached youngsters, they thought it best for space.

Sunset looked as his arms glow and she blinked and said, "that's a mark of the crimson dragon." She blinked and jumped to see a Random bat pony boy with solid white fur mane tail, and red eyes, dressed in a white suit, he looked creepy by it. "once ever 5000 years the Crimson dragon and his dragons pick champions to lead those dragons in a battle of light magic vs dark magic, against the earth bound immortals and there resurrected champions, In the form of combat that was most common. back in the day that meant slashes with dragons that turned into weapons now a days it was dueling. With the dragons and immortals becoming cards. The event is over, but the marks that mark them as chosen remain till the dying day."

She blinked and said, "oh ok then. he was picked by some freaky thing to take part on one side of it...Still doesn't explain why he is..."

the bat pony who adjusted his books said, "A guy still needs to pay his bills Lady. Saved the world doesn't really matter in a world that revolves around money. I mean he is no different then any solider that came back home. one big thanks for saving us. then nothing.. No money, No help.. Just thanks now bye bye. Not right, but that's how it works."

Jack spoke up as he said, "THANKS FOR SAYING IT MANE!"

The bat pony bowed and said, "Oh sorry were are my manners, Albino is my name. Well Not so much a name. Just what everyone called me in the orphanage to the point if I have another I can't remember it. With puts me in the same boat as Crow Another signer. anyway byebye!" he waved and walked off. Sunset was use to new person equaling probably a bad guy but Albino wasn't the fit bill. he didn't try to be a friend to trick her. He just answered a passer by's question say his name to mind his manners then moved on about his day or night.

Later on in the lunch room while sitting with the girls She looked at Albino playing a duel monsters Game no duel disk as he won it with the trap mystic cylinder.

Twilight meanwhile was looking at an old battle city duel disk projector she found. " the tech is amazing on this!" she said Looking at it.

Pinkie pie spoke up, "So We have solider standing guard. they need to give them more pay." Once more Jack's voice said, "THEN START A MOVEMENT FOR CHANGE IF YOU MEAN IT! IF yOU AREN'T YOU DON'T MEAN IT SO GET OFF THE POT OR GO!"

Applejack pointed and said, "...Well I like him now. but What's so up on Albino?"

Rarity rolled her eyes, "new guy we just run into! That's normal a problem for us girls. Granted there are rumors flying around him mostly that he is a bastard of one of those dark signers."

Dashie rolled her eyes, "...Seee always something like that!"

Fluttershy blinked and said, "Geee Maybe ask him?"

they watched Albino jump in shock and hide under a table when a student carrying a book on giants appeared and they blinked. The orange mare said, " Ok one of the dark signers cards where a giant I looked at it.'"

The power then went out leaving the girls in the dark. A voice came on a creepy one, "Were you at boy!" Albino was heard screaming as the lights came on to reveal the skeleton knight had him! roped and tied to the back of his zombie horse. the stallion waved and said, "... Well I am right fucked!" he said being drugged away.

the girls headed out side! To see Jack on his bike pulling up to cut him off as he throw a card to cut the rope! Albino fell over as Jack jumped the knight knocking him over they ended up struggling as the blonde said, "Come on who's under that mask!" he punched it off to reveal a stream of Black mist that got up no head knocking jack over. " The curse on his family shall never end!" it got on it's horse and left turning into mist.

Albino was left shaking, "NO NO I AM NOT A CRANE!"

everyone's head tilted. Albino was freaking out he was taken to the nurse station where the Rainbooms walked over and the nurse explained. "he use to be human the earth bound immortals absorb humans to form in the area only to explode back into them upon lose. he was sucked up by the giant and has a fear of them. As for the headless horsemen. the only name in his orphan file we have is crane."

Dashie crossed her arms, "and where we thought he was going to continue what his evil father started. No he just as an understandable fear, And is being hunted by a zombie... Ok why did it leave them!?"

Albino was shaking but got up, "because of Jack. Each mark has power! his marks power is to steal away the power of evil things till they no longer exist. being around Jack is toxic for him! that's why he is guarding me. he saves me enough times the horsemen dies. he didn't believe it was really headless till today though. Kind of like saying magic isn't real and believing the world is flat if you ask me! but this has been happening for months now I am mostly use to being hunted by the horsemen!"

The girls feeling bad for what they thought grabbed him and said, "Oh now we are solving this!" they went to the library and were after some digging Twilight smiled as she point to a page, "The headless horsemen will leave someone that beats him in a joust a modern day one would be a turbo duel."

Albino spoke up, "while that is fine for me, couple of problems there girls one I don't know how to drive, and if he plays a giant deck I am screwed with my fear. large amounts of Monsters are Giants."

Dashie then said, "I can drive a bike! I will do it! you can ride in a side car with Sunset for support!"

the bat pony flapped his wings, "Ok I will me along to problem be. I win he just kills another crane. Staying around jack so when he tries Jack sucks the after life out of him is better for the long term! as that way undead thing becomes dead dead."

Fluttershy, "you could always hide jack in a side car so the duel is a trap!" Albino held his chin and smiled.

Next night he was in one of rainbow dashe's side cars as it took off the horsemen heading after him. Albino turned on a duel academy duel disk that had a red base, but yellow big blade and blue little blade showing it was salvaged model. "ok I guess we duel!"
